Question
A 3-month-old baby boy has a sore throat, hoarse voice, and low-grade fever that has not subsided. What are the treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
Generally, when treating pediatric tonsillitis with high fever, options may include antibiotic therapy, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intralesional injections of medication, and laser therapy. For throat pain, analgesics can be considered, and antipyretic medications can be used for fever symptoms. If symptoms are severe, medical consultation should be sought promptly, and surgery may be considered. During treatment, special attention should be paid to keeping warm and avoiding catching a cold to exacerbate symptoms.
